South African Red Cross ship came into Singapore and the Japanese allowed it to come in, and they took off all the medical supplies, and I was given a spoonful of Marmite three times a day to stop me from going totally blind. The guys either side of me were blind. Their eyesight came back, so they were able to see, yeah.
How they got on after that, I don't know. When I came home, I used to feel terrible because a lot of people thought I was stuck up, because people's faces, well, if look at you now, I can't see a complete face. It's all parts of a face. And the further you get away, well, I can't recognize them at all. And it used to be embarrassing.
